Keeping flowers looking fresh after cutting them is difficult whether you have a green thumb or not, but it you want to start the process the right way, home-centric blog Apartment Therapy recommends cutting them during the coolest part of the day.

The reasoning is that the flowers have more moisture during cold periods and cutting them during these points makes it so they retain the water before they're brought inside. Combining this with a DIY solution, a little aspirin, or vodka should keep them lasting a long time. For more tips, hit up the Apartment Therapy link below. Photo by: Krikit.
